Hold the approach angle
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,572 meters, which was 73% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Kenner, Louisiana, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,010 feet above sea level to 36,947 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,937 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 160 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Gustafson Airport in Tallulah, Louisiana. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 232 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles southwest of Van Buren, Arkansas, and saw the aircraft descend from 36,460 feet above sea level to 1,932 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,528 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36R at Tulsa International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,052 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,140 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 5,355 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KTUL Tulsa International Airport on runway 36R, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown rate over a slower speed. The touchdown rate itself was smooth, with a descent rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm).
The landing distance of 1,140 meters was 37% of the runway's total length of 3,052 meters. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and winds of 5 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
After touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and was able to bring it to a safe stop within the designated area. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
